Why Christians Should Follow the Church Calendar
Most Christians celebrate Christmas and Easter, but what about the rest of the Christian year? For centuries, churches have observed seasons of waiting, fasting, repentance, and celebration, yet many Protestants now know little about them. I explore how the church calendar developed, why some Christians abandoned it, and what its often unfamiliar practices have to do with the biblical command to remember. Is this simply an old religious tradition, or have we overlooked something worth recovering?
